Application led March 22, 1927. SerialNo. 177,333.

My invention relates to an ignition and generating means for gasoline lamps.

The object of my invention is to provide a friction ignition means co-acting with a jet opening and closing means.

A further object of my invention is to ignite the generating means eliminating the use of a match.

These and other objects will hereinafter be more fully explained. Y

Referring to the drawings Fig. lis an elevation illustrating my invention as applied to a standard make of gasoline lamp.

Fig. 2 is a transverse view of Fig. l. Y

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line III- III in Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a detailed view of the jet and needle closing means, with parts broken away for convenience of illustration.

The mechanism herein disclosed consists of an auxiliary pipe l entering the feed pipe 2 below the valve 3, the said pipe 1 being curved to pass around the valve stem bushing 4 so that the jet 5 will be in vertical alignment beneath the generating coil pipe 6, the said pipe 6 being a part of the original equipment of the lamp. The jet is a member fitting in the end of the auxiliary pipe as shown in Fig. 4 and has a tine orifice 7 axially positioned therein, the outer end of which is funnelled to receive a needle point 8, the said point being rigidly attached to an arm 9 which is integral with a disc like member l0 hereinafter described. p

As an attaching means for elements of the orifice closing means and the ignition means I have provided a clamp 11, made as follows-z The clamp consists of a bracket 11 having one end curved to fit snugly on the pipe 12 the end Vbeing turned out as at A and having an aperture to receive a bolt 13. The other portion of the cla-mp consists of an arcuate member 14 having an apertured outward-turned end similar to that as shown at A and being engaged by the bolt 13 as tensioning means for the clamp. The opposite end of the said arcuated member has a 'lip 15 outwardly turned and integral therewith, the said lip extending `through a slot 16 as stationary supporting means therefor while the said bolt is being tightened, and being thus arranged thev clamp is easily attachedy and removed.' On the connected a 'disc-like member 10, 'said member having an arm 9 with the lneedle point attached thereto and for the purposeheretofore described, there isalso-arranged on the edge of the disc-like member an arcuatedknurled portlon 17, the 'center of curvature .of which is at the pivot point of member 10 as shown at B. Y

At the point B above referred to is a lever independent of the disc, thesaid lever has a straight portion of the bracket is pivotally i y.18 pivotally connected thereto and rotatable j imity to the arm9 as at D, the said spring l functioning to rapidly move the arm 9 and vthereby actuate the needle point to open and close the port as hereinafter described. i

Integrally connected to the bracket 11 is a clasp portion 2O which is bent around the...

upipe 1 as supporting means for the upper 'end thereof for proper engagement of the .needle point with the, aperture. Laterally extending from the'bracket is a stop member- 21 functioning as a stop for the lever 18 as tensioned by the said spring. The said V'stop also functions as a'bearing for a wire springV 22 which is rigidly connected-to the bracket 11 as at E. Integral with Vthe bracket member is a socket 23 which isformed by curling or rolling; over a projected portion of the bracket member so that a crack is left between the bracket proper and the inside edge of the roll so that the spring 22 projects into v vthe socket and can move longitudinally with the socket and exerts its pressure against the my ignition meansherein'diselosed; y ,Y Y YSuchiinodilic'ations'Inaybe employed as li'e Y Within the soope'of the appended claims.
